Hi,
For those wanting scientific documentation about the effects of introduced diseases on native Americans during early colonization, here is a link:
https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/16/2/09-0276_article
Also Charles Mann's two books "1491", about the native Americans before Columbus and "1493", about them after European contact are excellent synopses of current knowledge. As always, Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs, and Steel" is a great read.
